DONALD BYRD Byrd's Eye View (Beautiful 1956 UK first press 5-track deep groove mono LP on Esquire, one of Byrd's first dates as a leader, also starring Hank Mobley, Horace Silver, Doug Watkins & Art Blakey. Comes housed in a unique fully laminated flipback picture sleeve for the British market. Obtained from a one previous owner collection of modern jazz LP rarities of the fifties, this is a wonderful collector's example. The sleeve remains in Excellent condition, no mean feat considering its age. On close inspection, there is some minor shelf wear & the odd minor crease in the laminate. The edges remain sharp & the colours are stiking with no writing or tears. There is a light cosmetic blemish to the front laminate, visible when held to light, & the original inner bag is enclosed. Astonishingly, the labels are near 'as new' with no signs of play. The heavyweight vinyl is Excellent to Near Mint with an incredible deep sheen, we predict perhaps only ever played once or twice in its life or even just handled a few times for inspection.

DONALD BYRD Byrd's Eye View (Blue Note Tone Poet Series 2024 limited edition 5-track stereo LP cut directly from the original analogue tapes, mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and pressed at RTI on 180-gram vinyl. Recorded in 1955 for producer Tom Wilson's short-lived Boston-based label Transition Records, Byrd's Eye View was trumpeter Donald Byrd's first issued recording as a leader. The date presented Byrd at the helm of what was then the current line-up of The Jazz Messengers with tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, pianist Horace Silver, bassist Doug Watkins, and drummer Art Blakey. Local Boston area trumpeter Joe Gordon joins the band for some friendly brass sparring with Byrd on several numbers, further adding to the album's jovial air of a blowing session. High quality tip-on pasted blue-back picture sleeve, hype sticker & factory sealed inside its loose bag. Recommended) more...

DONALD BYRD Byrd's Word (One-off One-Sided Test Pressing for Side One of the 1956 mono LP, featuring only the first two tracks of the album, the lovely 'Winterset' & 'Gotcha Goin' 'n' Comin'. These songs were recorded at the Rudy Van Gelder Studio in Hackensack, New Jersey in September 1955, with Frank Foster [tenor sax], Hank Jones [piano], Paul Chambers [bass] & Kenny Clarke [drums]. The second disc for side two, if there ever was one, is presumably lost to the midst of time, that's how rare this item is. The custom studio label has 'Factory Sample' printed at the top & is rubber stamped with the artist, title, matrix & catalogue detail. This heavyweight disc has been professionally cleaned & play tested. Although there are a couple of hairlines & scratches, on a mono playback setting, these small interferences are largely left in the background, with just a few clicks on occasion & the music to the fore. Even in this condition [VG] the sound quality places you centre stage, almost as if you were in the same room as the musicians, it's that good! One for a keen collector LTZ-U15121) more...
